Kathy, I knew her for years when I worked at the Public Library. She was the true definition of a beautiful person. Always kind and caring. I feel honored to have known this dear friend. I’m happy to see that she lived to 105. I’m sorry I didn’t see her obituary sooner. Sending you prayers for peace and comfort.
Kathy, I didn’t know your mom but I know you. I suspect she instilled such good values in your life to go with your loving, servant’s heart.
Prayers for you and your family during this time but I know there’s a celebration and reunion this week in heaven. Love you, dear friend
Such a sweet lady — knew her from the Log Cabin Democrat many years ago! Prayers to all!
My good friend
